A Man's Hair...

I’ve noticed that something very interesting happens to a man as he gets older…

As a man begins to loose the hair on his head…the hair follicles seem to relocate themselves on other parts of the body.

Such as: the upper back and the tips of the ears.

(places where I’ve NEVER had hair)

Damn…sometimes when I look in the mirror while shaving in the morning, my eyes will suddenly notice this “tuff” of long hair, sprouting from my ear tips.

(I’m suddenly reminded of a potbelly pig…or a warlock)

And no sooner do I cut these retched hairs, than two days later…they seem to blossom again.

I’m thinking of maybe just leaving them there and twisting them into little points; using some hair gel…so that people will think I’m a Star Trek groupie doing an imitation of Spock.

I’ve also noticed that on my shoulders and upper back, right below my hairline…sudden patches of fur have manifested. And sometimes in the summer when I’m wearing a t-shirt, I know that from the back…I must look like I’m turning into a werewolf.

But the WORST…and I mean the WORST place to have to deal with this multitude of hair madness…is in my nose.

(I really need a weed-eater for this one)

Of course I’ve always had hair in my nose, but as I’ve gotten older, it seems to have turned into a bumper crop.

And I don’t care how many times I trim my nose hairs…not two minutes later…another 10 grow.

(If I didn’t attend to this, it would look as though I had a fern growing out of my face)

And I can’t stand it when I notice that other men don’t keep up with this, on their own person.

Have you ever been talking to someone, and the whole time your looking at them, your eyes won’t leave the sight of this MASSIVE BUSH protruding from their nostrils??

I want no more, than to take a pair of hedge shears or eyebrow tweezers and say, “I BEG of you…let me do the honors, PLEASE!”

I have noticed with hubby's friends that hair is being lost and redistributed.... but he's still lucky enough to be smooth like a baby most places and have the gorgeous mane on top. Ahhh.... I'm so jealous. Occasionally, his nose hairs get pretty crazy though so I'll have remind him to do the double check there. And what about women who don't shave much all winter and then forget when Spring hits and it's time for shorter pants. Gawd, you could braid the hair on some chickies legs. Eeewww.

I'm glad I got to stop by today and say HELLO as I'm worn out from the concert but totally worth it.

I am laughing right now. My husband has hair issues too. He has the hair growing from his nose and from the tips of his ears, but also hair seems to grow from the canal area of his ears. It is so funny because I will pop into the bathroom while he is shaving, take a look at him and say, "Hey hon, you might want to shave your ears too." He gets irritated with me. He also has these random wild eyebrows hairs that stick up like Jack Nicholson's. Oh and hair grows out of his moles now too. Thank God I am a fair haired woman!! That's all I can say about this.

I'm sorry you're having some extra hair growth. I understand your frustration. My hubby seems to spend more and more time grooming these days...he works on the eyebrows, the nose hairs, the neck, etc. And, he's only 31!

Heaven help me, what's he going to be like at 50! And, he's mostly bald...maybe I should be thankful he's lost his hair because can you imagine how much time he would spend on that? lol

the other evening I was in our local store and the woman on the checkout had a the darkest hairs on her upper lip. It looked awful. I would feel sorry for her but I don't because she could and should do something about it.

Since I have been on my hormone therapy I have had a small amount of facial hair growing on my chin. I shave it off every mornig and evenings too if I am lucky enough to be leaving my house.

Last weekend I didn't shave them at all and asked my 16 yr old how bad they looked. He looked at me then a bit closer then closer still but couldn't see anything. Which I have to say was good but I knew they were there. I can feel them growing back within a few hours of shaving them.

There are so many products out there now that there is no reason why any woman has to go out with unwanted facial hair.

But then who am I to say that for this woman her facial hair was unwanted......I just know that for me it was unwanted.....next time I am in the store please hide in the stock room.

My husband complains about the same things. He's 12 years older than I, so I often hear "Just wait until 12 years from now, and you'll see." from him... to which I respond - what are you? My father or my husband? Geesh. hehehehe

I bought MWM a small hair trimmer to keep his nostril and ear hair under control, sadly I find I sometimes have to use it too! :( I do so hate to see hair sprouting from noses and ears - puts me right off I can tell you.

I have an underactive thyroid and one of the symptoms is very little or no eyebrows. So I don't have to do anything..hee, hee. The down side is I tend to have the look of "Betty Davis" eyes.. :O Before I got on medication I looked like my dog Ringo..he just has dots for eyebrows. That is quite strange too..talk about Star Trek.

The down side is I tend to have the look of "Betty Davis" eyes..you know the look dramatic or scary! Before I got on medication I looked like my dog Ringo..he just has dots for eyebrows.

Oh well, all of these transitions keep things interesting..eh?

Thank you for a healing laugh..I needed it tonight!

Love ya...wings and all! :)

Ps I am having technical problems tonight so if this is a duplicate please forgive me. :O
